9. Schrock from Virginia. He was Pat Robertson's congressman
and one of the most conservative records of all congress.

3. Of course. Boringly predictable.
The will BE no coverage.

Especially since the GOP guy was gay.

No story there, eh?

No hook, no hypocrisy nor anything like that!

13. Yeah, the GOP Congresscritter likes to play

Typical RW GOP Bullshit.
